How do profiles work on my Netflix account?

Profiles allow different members of your household to have their own personalized Netflix experience, built around the movies and TV shows they enjoy. You can have up to five individual profiles within a single Netflix account.

Most devices allow you to create and delete profiles. Devices that do not currently support profiles will use the account owner profile by default.

Only the main profile on a Netflix account can make certain account changes, such as updating the email address or password associated with the account.

How do I create a profile?

You can add up to five profiles at any time on the Netflix website by selecting Manage Profiles in the menu in the upper right corner of your screen or in Your Account. Please note that each profile must have a different name.

By creating a profile, you are agreeing to Netflix collecting the information you provide in establishing the profile and understand that Netflix will associate ratings provided by the profile member with the information you provide.

How do I delete or edit a profile?

To delete or edit a profile from the Netflix website, select the edit icon on the profile you want to change under Manage Profiles. For the selected profile, you can select a language and maturity level or to delete the profile, select Delete Profile.

Please note that once you delete a profile, the viewing history for that profile will no longer be available.

The main profile on your Netflix account cannot be deleted.

How do I set Parental Controls on profiles?

You can set parental controls on individual profiles by setting the appropriate parental control setting from the selected profile on the Manage Profiles page.

You can also select ‘Kid?’ under each profile to indicate "kid-friendly" TV shows and movies for those 12 and under should only be shown.
